Japan is famous worldwide for the quality of its iron and for producing amazing knives at Rediscover Tours we strongly invite you to learn about Japanese knives however without a good sharpening whetstone soon your knife won't be as sharp as it should be. Near Kyoto, Mr. Tsuchihashi produces some of the best whetstones in the world and so we decided to visit him.
At Rediscover Tours we will give you a chance to discover Japan in-depth and explore sites that most tourists will never visit.
Rediscover Tours builds amazing private and small group trips to Japan. What makes us unique is our dedication to excellence and extensive knowledge of Japan.

Life this. I have several JNATs (Japanese Natural stones) that I use for knife and razor sharpening. Each one is so unique and one learns the stones’ tendencies. They aren’t graded like synthetic stones are by a specific grit as each stone has its own personality. Sharpening on any whetstone is somewhat meditative, but doing so on a quality JNAT is very zen like. It’s really hard to explain but I treasure mine. And the feel of the edge, especially on a straight razor, is sublime. Very comfortable shave.

Thanks to your video, I have learned another interesting thing: we can buy a one- dollar knife, but we need a fine whetstone. I also discovered that the highest quality whetstones in the world are mined here in Kameoka, Kyoto! Let's buy a one-dollar knife and learn how to sharpen it here in Kameoka!

I really enjoyed the visit and discovered things that I had never imagined. Kameoka has a lot to offer and a home stay is really the best way to enjoy it.

This sort of craftsmanship fascinates and impresses. Skilled folks working utilitarian magic without LED control panels must be rewardingly.

It's amazing to see how this man an make the difference between good and bad stones and later shape the right size, polish the right side,...

Please don't think im comparing myself to any real craftsman but I have recently switched to hand tools and oh my gosh. I am skilled and proficient with many power tools but working by hand is just amazing and so welcomed. I really feel like I was lied to about what wood working is. Anyhow if you get the chance to start using small easy hand wood working tools it will blow your mind just how good it is in every sense of the word

Very true that such stones are expensive! It's a luxury I can't afford now but it's cool to see how these natural stones work so well.

Что нравиться у японцев так это гармоничное, доскональное отношение к работе и к жизни!Их стиль своеобразен и нам не совсем понятен .... менталитет разный подход к жизни тоже ..

I live in hilly place with lots of stone, here we use a stone for sharpening knife, it is quite common in our areas and that type of stone isn't available in lower plain which is just 40km away, I wish I could sell those stone

Can you make a video and show us what those stones look like and how effective they are at sharpening knives? send me a link, I might be able to help you to sell if they're good stuff.

I think his stone named maruoyama I been a dream to own one of it one day as a chef i really love to sharpen on it one day...his stone are famous for kasumi finish on the knife

@RediscoverTours 2 жыл бұрын

Yes! I believe Maruoyama (round mountain in Japanese) refers to the shape of the mountain where his whetstones come from. He's quiet famous in Japan, just last Saturday he appeared on a national tv program.
